Clearaudio Concept and Audio Technica AT6006R tonearm lifter???

I have good and bad news.
Just took delivery of my new Audio Technica AT6006R arm lifter. Took maybe 45 minutes to install, quite a bit of adjustment to get it right. The good news, it works great, looks great and built quality is impressive. 
Now the bad news. The Concept table offers little space between the platter and bottom plate of the tonearm assembly, it fits but it puts the 6006R trigger antenna over the record by about 1/4". So getting the record off the
platter requires some finagling and so far considerable patience.
Will I keep the 6006R lifter? Probably with reservation, I need something to lift the tonearm. 
So, Concept owners thinking about a tonearm liter, you've been warned. Not sure any of the more expensive lifters will do any better.
If you have come up with a better solution, please respond.

     My first Safety Raiser cost me $19.95 and treated my Unitrac arm very gently, for 30 years.

     Ten years ago it got a bit too energetic, so: found a NOS/NIB replacement and paid $129.00 (gladly).     The box still had the $19.95 tag on it.

     A little trick that makes adjusting the Raiser a snap:

          Stretch the thinnest O-ring you can locate over the inner tube, to hold your height adjustment, while you determine/lock the horizontal position.
